Ping: Bill Klein on proposed cobol standards

by "SeaSideSam" <SeaSideSam@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Mar 11, 2008 at 03:37 PM

i've been studying (reading actually) the proposed cobol standards.  and
i've noticed that you seem to be involved in some capacity (observer to
implementor).  is there a simple explaination as to why there is so much
interest in making COBOL into ....  ?  COBOL, like every other invention
of mankind, needs the occasional make-over.  but this seems a bit much. 
there might be good reason, a valid destination, but i don't see it. 
maybe you can explain.

tia.

it's like taking a mack truck and turning it into a dodge 3500 dually. 
yes, it's still a truck, still diesel powered, and still carries a load. 
but what you end up with is really something completely different.
